Suddenly feeling the harsh pain all over my body I tried to move while opening my eyes.
Somehow opening my eyes with difficulty I saw a white roof which came with a blurry overview.
Moving my head with some difficulty to the side, I saw Natasha leaning on the chair.
From the type of decoration in the room I understood it was a hospital and with that realisation the memory of what happened last time when I was up came rushing back in my mind.
I couldn't stop the tears coming out from my eyes so I just silently turned my head towards the side while closing my eyes.
Some minutes later with a rustling sound Natasha came running towards me,
" Ritik.. Ritik... sob* sob* you're up Ritik..", her crying voice came as I opened my eyes to find her standing in front of me with red swollen eyes completely filled with tears.
" Mo..m", I said with some difficulty.
" Pl... please wait Ritik, I'll... just call the doctor..", she said while rushing outside with a happy smile and tears continuously gushing out of her eyes.
Just like she was, an emotional but not so impulsive woman. After seeing me wake up she ran first to get the doctors to check up on me.
I didn't knew for how much time I was unconscious but more than that I was mainly worried about Veronica and the reason for Surya's betrayal. A deep hatred was brewed but I knew that with the strength I had, I had no chance of avenging and saving myself from Surya so not thinking about anything as my head was hurting real bad, I just leaned back my head and closed my eyes.
Just some seconds after Natasha ran to call the doctor, the door was flung open and a bewildered Sania and Shanaya entered the room.
" Ritik..." " You... you woke up", with sudden emotional exclamations the two of them rushed towards me.
" Hey... girls..", I was only able to utter these words as the very next moment I felt a real harsh pain as both the girls leaned on my bandaged torso with crying faces.
" Mo... move.. it's hurting... urghh..", I said after feeling the sharp paining sensation just for a couple of seconds.
" Oh.... sorry sob* sob*", Shanaya moved back quickly and apologized simultaneously. Sania also did the same but while wiping her red watery eyes with her top.
" Well.... so who would tell me the story after my unconsciousness", I asked with a broken and sad smile.
" We... we don't... sob* sob* know anything...", Shanaya was just going to say something when Sania cut her words in the middle.
"you.. don't talk for now.. sob* sob* rest for some days sob* and then we'll talk", Sania said trying to make me not stress after waking up.
" I... I understand, can you atleast tell me for how long I was down. Just don't tell me it's been years", I said trying to lighten up the super hyped up emotional moment.
Both the girls suddenly spat out as if laughing after hearing my comment while sobbing but their tears didn't stop. I knew that those were just the sudden burst of emotions but I was feeling real bad because of them.
A beautiful smile with a tearful expression formed on Shanaya's face as she showed me her hands while having 8 fingers up.
" So it is 8 months, still a lot of time had passed..", I said with a fake depressed sigh*. Being bandaged almost all over and not being able to move was really..... annoying at times like those.
" It's 8 days, don't annoy me just after waking up you fool", Shanaya said as her expression turned normal, still those tears streamed down slowly.
" Oh-oh! I forgot how impressive my body is. I knew there's no chance of me going down with four or so simple bullets", I grinned while trying to bear the pain of my body.
" Don't... don't be hypocrite and don't joke for something like this, you don't know how much we all suffered in the last few days. We didn't knew when you were gonna wake up, we didn't even knew if you were gonna wake up. We all were so worried about you. None of us have eaten properly for the past few days, none had slept soundly for so many nights, we all were just praying for you to wake up and here you are joking about all this as if it is some kinda joke. Don't.... please just don't talk about these things now. I know it's a difficult time for you, me and all of us girls but let's not let this go away as a joke. For now please rest Ritik, I don't think I can bear anymore days if I see you lying on the ventilator with near death conditions again like this...", Sania said a monologue with a burst of emotions, tears out, crying, weeping, rubbing them with her clothes and with a truly lost out look.
I knew I was totally in the wrong and there was no place of me disagreeing with her or to argue with her so I just shut my mouth and continued laying silently on the ventilator.
Shanaya was also shocked with the sudden outburst of Sania and with her turning silent a deep silence got created in the room.
••••••••••••••••••••
The silence only broke with the opening of door as a doctor in a cliché white coat entered inside the room.
After looking at me woke up he immediately checked on the instruments and those recordings being presented in them while Natasha just looked at him with worry on her face and tears in her eyes.
The other two girls just stood silently on two sides of mine.
After checking on the machines and their reports the doctor stood there thinking of something until at last when Natasha patted him on his back.
" Doctor... is he doing well", Natasha asked as the doctor moved suddenly with her pat.
" Oh... I don't know how but he's recovering well and I mean real well, I just don't know how but his recovery rate is imaginarily fast. He might be one of those miracle cases well I must say being present in situations like these is a doctor's dream..... well, to be straight, I'm not sure how but he's recovering good. Don't worry much about him now, with this recovery rate and what the results show, he only needs to recuperate and everything will go back to normal in some time" , the doctor said with a straight yet surprised face.
